not unexpected for the style of bike . I guess it would be a benefit at track days . And , speaking of track days , the track specific power modes and suspension settings should excite track day warriors and racers alike . Straight up , both the RS and RR are awesome bikes , and for their intended use are fabulous . Both sport handling that is nimble and light and yet they remain very planted on the road . The ergonomics on the RR create a slightly less nimble , but more planted feel due in part to the extra bodyweight on the nose and the riding position . While the RS is easier to muscle around , because you sit more upright , wind is more of an issue . Personally , I ’ m too tall to enjoy all day comfort on either bike , but the RS is better for me in the comfort department . If you ’ re looking for a machine with fantastic brakes , an awesome engine and top shelf suspension that looks cool with a beautiful build quality then the RS is for you . If you prefer the racy style and possibly want to include some track work , and aren ’ t too tall , the RR becomes the more obvious choice . It ’ s the classic choice ... horses for courses . Either way , I ’ m sure you won ’ t be disappointed .
